Chapter 236 A surprise prepared for Lao Ren

Shirakawa Electric is currently involved in the gaming field only in the handheld industry.

But beyond that there were arcades, home consoles, and even nascent computer games.

After all, handheld consoles are still too simple. First of all, the hardware limits it the most.

Both the graphics and the experience are far behind those of arcade and home game consoles.

After the meeting, Shirakawa Kaede also pulled Tanimura, Iwata Satoru, and Akagi to discuss the possible future development prospects of HAL.

“HAL is currently only focusing on the field of handheld games.

But out of comprehensive considerations, I think business expansion can be carried out appropriately."

"Hey, Shirakawa-san, our handheld business is still on the rise.

Are you so eager to develop other businesses?" Tanimura did not expect that Shirakawa Kaede would also intend to continue to expand HAL's business.

In his opinion, HAL is doing very well now.

The games produced are equipped with their own handheld consoles, and sales have been good.

Before the handheld business started, he couldn't even afford a small umbrella.

Now, more than half a year later, not only has the place where I live been changed to a high-end apartment, but my girlfriend has also been changed.

He is not dissatisfied with his current life, so why take risks to develop other businesses.

If you lose money and it affects the income from the handheld console, wouldn't you get less and less?

Shirakawa Kaede glanced at him lightly, "Tanimura-kun, a new club must be brave enough to try.

Especially in the field of video games, everyone is groping forward.

If we continue to stick to the current field, then those possible blue oceans that may exist in the future may pass us by."

In terms of courage and ambition, Tanimura is still a little behind.

I hope the young people of HAL will grow up as soon as possible. Thinking of this, Shirakawa Kaede turned to look at Satoru Iwata beside him.

"Iwata-kun, in what other ways do you think HAL can be extended?"

"Computer game" Satoru Iwata gave his answer without hesitation.

"Tell me about it." Bai Chuanfeng looked interested.

"Shirakawa.-san", "Wait"

Before Iwata could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Shirakawa Kaede.

"You should call me Shirakawa-kun in private. Otherwise, it will be uncomfortable for you to scream, and it will be uncomfortable for me to hear you."

Bai Chuanfeng knew that this guy was a little nervous sometimes, and he always regarded himself as a classmate.

So Bai Chuanfeng didn't mind privately, he called himself a friend.

Hearing what Shirakawa Kaede said, Tanimura and Akagi both looked envious.

Only the slightly fat Satoru Iwata scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Shirakawa-kun, I think personal computers will definitely become popular in the future.

At that time, microcomputers will definitely become a new platform, and games will definitely have great potential in this."

"Very good" Bai Chuanfeng was already very satisfied that he could realize this.

"I agree with Iwata-kun, so HAL might as well set up a computer game department in the future to specialize in computer game design."

At this time, the cost of game design is more on labor cost and time cost.

Bai Chuanfeng thinks that even if he can't make a profit, it's still good to practice his skills.

"At the same time, if you have time, you may wish to pay attention to home game consoles."

"Eh?" Iwata Satoru and Tanimura looked at Shirakawa Kaede in surprise.

Bai Chuanfeng smiled slightly, "We might as well tell you all that we will have our own chip born this year.

This is a kind of processor chip. If you are engaged in software and hardware design, you must be very aware of its key role.

This kind of chip is capable of more complex operations and logic control, and will have excellent performance in terms of delay and power consumption.

At that time, there were a wide range of application scenarios, whether on handheld consoles or home game consoles.

So how to use it to design more advanced and better game consoles is your job."

"Shirakawa-kun, are you serious about this?!" Satoru Iwata asked excitedly.

"Don't worry, when the trial production is successful, we will send a few pieces to HAL for research and development trials." Shirakawa Kaede assured with confidence.

He was quite confident in Masatoshi Shima and the amount of money he had invested in it.

"That's great!" Satoru Iwata suffered from chip sluggishness in his previous handheld console development.

Because of cost constraints, higher-end chips cannot be used.

Ordinary calculator chips are still shrunk versions. It is really difficult to use them to design games.

Now that he heard the good news from Shirakawa Kaede, Satoru Iwata was eager to get his hands on this chip and try it out.

"In short, you just need to know about this matter. Before the chip comes out, it must be kept secret."

"clear!"

This is a secret weapon, and the newly developed handheld consoles and home game consoles are strategic secrets that must not be leaked.

Bai Chuanfeng decided to give Lao Ren a little chip shock.

Even though Shirakawa Electric and HAL are relatively young, if they work together, they might be able to launch a big satellite.

In a traditional Japanese courtyard in Chuo-ku, Tokyo.

With the arrival of early spring in March, the shrubs and trees in the courtyard have changed into fresh green.

The chirping of birds among the branches and the tinkling sound of falling water as bamboos are added to the garden all bring out the tranquility and Zen beauty of the courtyard here.

Along the ancient stone path, extending to the end, there is a traditional Japanese-style Japanese house.

And just behind the log-colored door in front of you, a closed-door tea party was taking place.

"Sakaguchi-san, the revenue of the cotton textile industry has been declining recently, and the business here in Terada has become increasingly difficult."

An almost octogenarian old man sitting at the top of the room, and another gray-haired old man beside him, lamented the recent operating difficulties of the family business.

"What Terada-san said is that Sakaguchi's textile business has also declined sharply.

The neon economy is taking off, but traditional industries are like a pool of stagnant water. It seems that traditional light industry has limited potential after all."

The old man named Sakaguchi nodded, agreeing with Terada's sentiments.

These two elders are the oldest and most senior people here and in the room.

The old man at the top is named Eikichi Terada, and he comes from Osaka.

The family is mainly engaged in traditional industries, including brewing, textiles, and transportation. In the early Showa era, it was considered a small local chaebol.

However, with the economic reforms after the war, the family business suffered a certain impact, and its influence is now decreasing.

Next to him was another old man in his seventies, named Sakaguchi Heiheiya, who came from Tottori Prefecture.

Its family business mainly focuses on cotton spinning, mining, petroleum, electrical, local banks, energy and financial industries.

Judging from its size, it can be considered a small local chaebol, but its life is much better than that of Terada Eikichi.

Terada Eiji, who was at the top, picked up the teacup and took a sip. Then he glanced at the middle-aged man below and spoke in a low voice.

“Nagata, Keio’s current development is really enviable.

Whether it is electric railways, department stores, or real estate, their performance in recent years has been astonishing.

Sure enough, compared to traditional industries, the service industry is one of the symbols of the booming neon economy today."

Nagata Masaru bowed his head humbly and said politely, "It's all thanks to Terada-san, Keio Group's business is okay."

"If it's possible, you might as well see what projects the Terada family has that we can collaborate on.

After all, rather than looking for outsiders, it is more reliable to rely on your own people."

For the development of his family, Terada Eikichi could only lower his profile personally and seek help from other groups.

"Definitely" Nagata Masaru bowed his head again and said politely.

"Also Ogawa-san, if the Odakyu Electric Railway Group needs a place, please give priority to Terada."

Ogawa Kazuo, who was cueed by Terada Eiji, could only put down his teacup helplessly and bow slightly.

"Thanks to Terada-san for your kind consideration, Odakyu will give it serious consideration."

"Yeah~" Terada Eiji nodded with satisfaction, that's all.
